You&amp;#39;re very versatile.\nANTONIO BANDERAS: I love having an eclectic career.\nCR: What are you interested in now?\nAB: I&amp;#39;m working on a play, Don Giovanni.\nCR: Are you going to play the lead, Don Juan?\nAB: Yes.\nCR: Haven&amp;#39;t you already lived that part?\nAB: [Laughs.] Oh, yeah. When I was 20 years old and I had money in my pocket and I was in Madrid, I was totally crazy. I had a lot of fun. I was very sexual.\nCR: What do you consider romantic?\nAB: Anyone can experience the rush of a new relationship. What&amp;#39;s more interesting is falling in love with my own wife again, and feeling the rush I felt at the beginning.\nCR: Can you fall in love over and over with the same person?\nAB: You can. Today people break up at the first crisis. If you weather it, you come out stronger as a couple. There&amp;#39;s also a big issue of lying at the beginning of a relationship. You don&amp;#39;t present yourself as you really are.\nCR: If we all acted like ourselves on the first date, none of us would get a second date.\nAB: [Laughs.] It&amp;#39;s true.\nCR: You and Melanie [Griffith] have been married more than 11 years now. What first attracted you to her?\nAB: Before I fell in love with Melanie, I thought she was one of the best comic actors of the eighties.\nCR: So it was her sense of humor?\nAB: Yes. I relate a sense of humor to irony, and irony to intelligence. I think she&amp;#39;s extremely sexual, too.\nCR: Is it hard to keep that going as you get older?\nAB: Melanie will be 90 and she&amp;#39;ll still be sexy!\nCR: Actresses often talk about how difficult it is to find good parts as they get older. Do actors worry about the same thing?\nAB: No, we don&amp;#39;t&amp;#8212;and it&amp;#39;s unfair.\nCR: You just came out with a new fragrance, Blue Seduction for Men. Did you actually pick the scent?\nAB: Yeah. They gave me this big briefcase full of little bottles. They even had the scent of recently washed clothes from the nineteenth century!\nCR: Old clothes? That&amp;#39;s the scent of a man?\nAB: It depends. Coffee and wood are considered very male scents too.\nCR: I don&amp;#39;t know if I could date a guy who smelled better than I did.\nAB: [Laughs.] Sometimes there is too much grooming. A man has to have a roughness quality.\nCR: And the most attractive quality in a woman?\nAB: Trustworthiness. I also love honesty.\nCR: So what do you think: Would you like to see a world ruled by women?\nAB: Absolutely. I don&amp;#39;t think men have done a very good job running the world. I would tell the men, &amp;quot;Go home, change diapers and let the women rule.&amp;quot; I&amp;#39;d like to see a world with a feminine touch.\nCarole Radziwill is the author of the memoir What Remains*, now available in paperback.*"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
